Solving the Non-D1 Problem
For Wofford, playing lower-division opponents (North Greenville and Virginia-Wise) this year is no fun.
No fun for the smaller team, as they likely have to trek a good distance to get walloped on the gridiron.
No fun for the fans, as the excitement of the usual home schedule eludes them this season.
Most importantly, however, it is no fun for the Terriers, because filling up open spots on the schedule with lower-division schools, as opposed to Division I schools, makes it harder for them to make the playoffs.
